With its jagged peaks, impressive glaciers, beautiful lakes, and lush forests, St. Moritz is one of the top mountain destinations in the world. It has even hosted two Winter Olympics, so you can imagine the winter sports here are off the charts.
It has two parts: St. Moritz Bad and St. Moritz Dorf. The former sits on the valley floor and has more affordable accommodations, while St. Moritz Dorf provides fantastic views of the lake. This is a popular destination throughout the year, and during the winter, visitors can enjoy everything from bobsledding to skating. A popular activity is tobogganing on Cresta Run.
Visitors can enjoy glacier skiing, watersports, and hiking during the summer. One of the best hikes is along St. Moritz Lake, as the pine-lined waters glisten in the sunshine. If you’re looking for some activities that don’t involve snow, you can also visit the region’s many galleries and museums.
Take a short trip to the Segantini Museum and look at the famous works of Giovanni Sergantini. Or head over to the Engadine Museum, which hosts over 4,000 artifacts representing local life from the 13th century to the 19th century.
Also, you can travel to the town on the Glacier Express, one of the most famous railways in the world. It’s known for its majestic scenery, which we can attest to. It’s breathtaking.
